Friday Field of Dreams: Check out prep football’s only two-tone field, just don’t call it blue turf

West Hills High in Santee, Calif. is home to the nation's only two-tone prep field — West Hills football

When West Hills High decided to install a new football field, they weren’t going to accept an ordinary green turf surface. Instead, officials at the Santee, Calif. school wanted a field that reflected the school’s blue colors.

What’s a SoCal school to do? In the case of the West Hills Wolf Pack, the school creates a field that's even more unique than Boise State's famed surface, alternating two different shades of blue.

The result is the unique surface you see above and at right, which is allegedly the only two-tone turf field in use at the high school level in America. The other two-tone fields in use can be found at Lindenwood University and Central Arkansas University, which are gray and maroon and gray and purple, respectively.
